I believe so. See Comment #38 in particular.
The issue with the existing gadgets/scripts, was historically that they:
(A) interfere with right-floated top-icons (Featured article stars, Protection
padlocks, etc), eg http://i.imgur.com/KFXDc0a.png
This is still the case for users (like me) who use the Gadget "Move section
[edit] links to the right side of the screen."
(B) Are ambiguous. (Ie. a newcomer might expect that top-right-link will let
them edit the whole article)
Nowadays, with Vector's current left-floating edit-links, it looks like this,

Which makes problem (B) even worse.
Changing the wording for this link only, has been suggested before as the
solution. "Edit intro" had unanimous agreement in the last (August 2012)
discussion at Enwiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29/Archive_92#Activate_section_0_edit_link_for_everyone
I'm not sure why that didn't get pushed through afterwards.
With VisualEditor added in, it gets a bit more complicated... On Enwiki, we'd
end up with this:
[edit intro source] [edit intro ^beta]
The code is easy. Where to put the links (and how to label them) is not.

Yes. Because other skins, and other sites.
(In reply to Jared Zimmerman (WMF) from comment #80)
It's called "section 0" (by everyone, hence I'm renaming back) because that is
the name in the URL, eg.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foobar&action=edit§ion=0
(Whereas if you click [edit] on the first H2 header, it goes to section=1)
Note on stats: According to [[Wikipedia:Database_reports/User_preferences]], at
Enwiki, there are 23,691 editors who use the "edittop" Gadget, and 954 editors
who use the "righteditlinks" Gadget.
